TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the dimensions of China's competitive threat in the 1990s, benchmarking competitive performance by technology and market, and find that market share losses are so far mainly in low technology products, with Japan being the most vulnerable market.

TL;DR: This paper extends the range of the supply chain to include re-use and recycling throughout the life cycle of products and services and proposes the multiple attribute utility theory method for assessing a supply chain.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental building blocks of supply chain agility are conceptualized as supply- and demand-side competence, which are viewed as enabler (moderator) on the relationship between supply chain competencies and supply-chain agility.
Abstract: This paper investigates the fundamental building blocks of supply chain agility, which are conceptualised as supply- and demand-side competence. While the former refers to production and supply management related activities, the latter refers to distribution and demand management related activities. The model further assesses the influence of supply chain agility on operational performance, as well as its mediating role in the relationship between supply- and demand-side competence and performance. Within this framework, process compliance, i.e. how well supply chain management processes are internally executed by the firm's employees, is viewed as an enabler (moderator) on the relationship between supply chain competencies and supply chain agility. Theoretical substantiation is provided by the resource-based view of the firm augmented with the dynamic capabilities perspective. The model is tested with data from 121 supply chain management professionals. Implications for both academic theory development and supply chain and production management practice are provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model of the key factors influencing the adoption of supply chain technology, including firm size, organizational structure, integration of supply-chain strategy with overall corporate strategy, past financial performance, supply chain partner pressure, transaction climate and environmental uncertainty.
Abstract: Integration of supply chain activities and the technologies to accomplish it have become competitive necessities in most industries. Accordingly, the trend toward greater use of supply chain technologies is on a clear path forward. As one manager has noted: “With almost daily technology advancement globally in every facet of the business, organizations need to synchronize by adopting and implementing new electronic commerce and supply chain technology in order to protect market share, not to mention improve market penetration”. This paper develops a model of the key factors influencing the adoption of supply chain technology. The following set of variables were hypothesized to have a significant impact upon the pace of technology adoption: firm size, organizational structure, integration of supply chain strategy with overall corporate strategy, past financial performance, supply chain partner pressure, transaction climate and environmental uncertainty. The model provides a better understanding of the supply chain technology diffusion process. The paper also includes a survey, which has been developed to test the model.
